Many Upgrades, Over $50k In Receipts on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
|
My wife and I recently moved from San Diego, CA to Baltimore, MD. I went from having a two car garage to a one car garage, and, now, a baby is on the way.
My loss is your gain. The last owner of this car never intended sell it. He spent a lot of money on it, but he was hurt bad in the housing crisis and so I bought it off him in 2009. I am willing to sell it for the same amount I paid for it even though I have over $15k in my own receipts since purchase. I am an engineer by background, and I have a fair amount of OCD when it comes to my projects. I just kept addressing every little thing that I could find. I think that comes through in how I represent the car. This is a California car. The maintenance receipts dating back to 1985 demonstrate the desert provenance of the car, and the VIN report shows emission checks in arid southern California. It has never seen salt or ice. It has no rust. I have over $50k in receipts for the last 14,000 miles on the car. The car also comes with receipts dating back to 1985. The mileage listed is since the engine rebuild. Here are the big ticket receipts: Major Engine Rebuild (14k miles) - Mild performance upgrades including ported and polished cylinder head, compression and cam - Custom chip programmed on the dyno reaching 208hp at the rear wheel Complete Transmission Rebuild (6k miles) - Fast Shift Synchros - Wevo Linkage, Wevo PSJ, Wevo Spring Kit, Wevo Extended Handle Suspension Upgrades (5k miles) - 24mm Hollow Elephant Torsion bars up front, 33mm Hollow Elephant Torsion bars in the back - Bilstein Sport Shocks, Corner Balanced Complete Interior Refurbishment - New leather, new carpets, new dashboard, new door panels - The pictures show it well This car is absolutely reliable. It leaks zero fluids. It has excellent rubber trim all the way around, great heating, and ice cold A/C. You could certainly use it as a daily driver without any issue and not have the guilt of devaluing a low mileage car. I can refer you to Black Forest Porsche in San Diego to ask about my maintenance history with the car and how persistent I was about addressing every little thing I could find. Give them the VIN so they can pull their records and ask for Jeff, or you could just look at my book of receipts. There is just over 268,000 miles on the odometer. The paint is the original single stage treatment from Stuttgart. It has nicks and chips commiserate with its age. It looks great in sunshine but a bit faded under artificial light. The next owner might consider repainting if you can find someone near you who will perform a single stage application correctly. Please don't mess up this beautiful car with clearcoat. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction should another transaction occur. Serious bidders only please. Thank you for your time in reading my ad and good luck bidding. |

Porsche gives Nick Murray exactly what he deserved [w/video]
Sat, 19 Apr 2014The tale of Nick Murray and his lemon Porsche 911 appears to have come to a satisfactory end. As noted in the original story about Murray, he and Porsche Cars North America met and came to a resolution. However, we didn't know exactly what that meant, until now.
Murray has created a new video explaining that PCNA offered to buy back the car at full price or give him an exact replacement for it. This was exactly what he was asking for. Murray remains pro-Porsche in the new video. "I am definitely considering reordering a Porsche 911," he says.
Porsche also posted a message on its Facebook page that clarified the situation. "We at Porsche have always sought excellence in all that we do. We know you expect it of us. And when we don't meet that standard, we make every effort to improve," said a portion of the note.
2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S
Wed, 04 Sep 2013A Wicked-Fast Street Legal Multi-Tool
Walter Röhrl was carving up the circuit in the Porsche 911 Turbo S like a skilled Jedi Master - and I was sitting next to him, mesmerized by the breathtaking show. I had strapped myself securely into the front passenger bucket of the all-new coupe less than a minute earlier, expecting nothing more than a few quick laps around a track at the hands of another celebrated race driver. Been there, done that. Many times, actually.
Yet this was different. Röhrl was not only calculated and methodical in his approach, but his rally-tuned cerebrum appeared to be actively reading available grip levels while effortlessly tossing the all-wheel-drive Porsche into each corner at gut-wrenching speeds. His hands were moving rapidly, sending tiny steering corrections to the front tires, and he was using every inch of the track to extract more speed. We launched over a curb, dropped a wheel in the dirt and then drifted around a wide off-camber turn. His human precision and focus was astounding, and the performance he was extracting from the machine was just short of breathtaking.
